A premise that is worth doing: your eyes will never meet, all over the world, a place like Alberobello. The “city of Trulli”, famous for its white conical stone buildings, has in fact been declared UNESCO HERITAGE for its history and architecture. This magical village is located only 25 km from Petranima: the Trulli of Alberobello are a fundamental stop for anyone who wants to enjoy a breathtaking rural panorama. We say so, but the ANCI also says: Alberobello is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy!
Gastronomy
Alberobello is the ideal town to touch the signs of Apulian hospitality and to taste the essence of this land… in every sense! In fact, you will notice that in the various restaurants of the Rione Monti and Rione Aia Piccola (the two areas not to be missed of the village) to prevail will be produced at km 0 and everything you can imagine green! In fact, the local cuisine is a mirror of the soil: fresh pasta from Puglia made by hand, such as cavatelli or orecchiette, topped with different types of vegetables such as chicory, turnip tops, artichokes and so on perfectly reflect the peasant soul of the area.
And for fish lovers… Do not worry, Alberobello is not far from the sea, you will find proposals for both sea and land in most restaurants! PS. Don’t forget to try the fried pecs for dessert!
